Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 1216: Gourmet

”My goodness, you really weren’t kidding.” Ding Xiao Ying dangled her legs in excitement. Her nose had been hit repeatedly with a very fragrant aroma.

”Is it done yet?” She asked in an impatient voice.

How could such cooking be so enticing and alluring?

Even though she had just eaten quite a bit of food back at the tavern, she was now starving and hungry for more!

”Patience, Xiao Ying.” Xu Feng stir-fried some of the veggies mixed with meat in the wok and said calmly. ”Unless you want to eat a half-baked product, you should let me complete the dish entirely without skipping any steps.”

Although Ding Xiao Ying understood his implication, she still couldn’t help herself.

”You’re very evil, Brother Feng!” She cried aloud. ”All I did was take advantage of your body, and now you’re making me wait in agony for the delicious food. I don’t care now. Every second you make me wait, I’m going to smooch you for that amount of time.”

”...”

Xu Feng nearly lost his momentum when he heard such shameless words being spouted by her.

She was a rising actress, okay!

How could she even possibly utter such words without any shame?

There were so many fans clamoring and cheering for her, but did they even know their goddess’s true face?

”Are you like this with all those close to you?” Xu Feng asked skeptically. If that was the case. Then he needed to make ample preparation.

What was the most lethal to a short drama production?

Scandals!

One scandal with some superficial photos, recordings, or other types could easily bring down the whole production.

In other words, if Ding Xiao Ying was being maliciously targeted, then her shameless behavior could be used as leverage to paint her as a gold-digger or even a slut with no shame.

By then, the damage would be done.

Even if Xu Feng found the culprit and put an end to them, it still wouldn’t change the situation. After all, humans were often the most disgusting creatures in the world with a narrow mindset.

They refused to see others’ glory and would prefer to watch them fall from grace.

They would spread malicious rumors and gossip about them until they finally went into ruin or chose to end their life. Once that was done, these disgusting people would start targeting another person to harm.

”Relax, Brother Feng.” Ding Xiao Ying smiled lovingly.

”I’m only like this to you. Besides, I’m an actress and public figure. I know how to defend myself from malicious schemes.” She added, letting him know that his worries were unfounded.

”Even so, I should still hire some PR people to assist you and the others.” Xu Feng decided.

PR stood for public relations. They were responsible for controlling the media and the popularity of their clients.

Many rising actresses often lacked a proper PR Team to protect them because of a lack of funding. Or the company/agency they signed with was terrible.

”I’ll listen to you, Brother Feng.” Ding Xiao Ying stretched her long legs and smiled. ”Should we do a livestream to pass the time? I’ve heard that livestreaming in the Divine World has gotten popular. Some players who managed to achieve big things received instant fame and wealth.”

”If you want, then go for it.” Xu Feng replied, his attention focused on seasoning the food.

Ding Xiao Ying pondered for a while before shaking her head.

”Never mind then. I’ll livestream after finishing the food.” She preferred to spend some alone time without any disturbance. This was a chance and an opportunity to taste Xu Feng’s cooking, albeit not in the real world.

Just when Ding Xiao Ying thought she was going to feed each other mouth-to-mouth in her fantasy, a voice suddenly disrupted their peaceful atmosphere.

”The aroma of the cooking isn’t bad. Can I join as well?”

”Who?” Alerted, Ding Xiao Ying quickly got up and rushed to Xu Feng’s side for protection.

As for Xu Feng, his temperament remained unchanged. If it were an enemy ambush, then there was no need for them to make a sound to alert them.

Moreover, he wasn’t afraid of any ambushers with his current level and skills.

Hearing no response, Serena emerged from the forest and showed herself.

”Relax, I mean no harm.” She raised her hands.

”I was just attracted by the aroma of the cooking and wished to have a taste.” She continued, her eyes shifting to Xu Feng’s cooking skills.

The moment she took a glimpse, Serena was astounded by the techniques.

’Impossible... is he also a chef with a hidden class?’ Her eyes widened in disbelief. Those techniques that he was using were something that had cost her a fortune to learn.

While she was stunned, Xu Feng had already placed the food on a plate. He turned to her and asked. ”Are you also a gourmet?”

For some reason, he found this woman familiar, but couldn’t exactly recall who she was.

”Ah, yes, I’m a gourmet,” Serena answered in a daze. But then she realized a gourmet wasn’t quite accurate about herself. ”No, I’m also a chef. I want to know where and how you learn those cooking techniques. I recognized some, but there were also some that I can’t discern.”

”Apologies, but it’s a secret.” Xu Feng mused and handed the dish to Ding Xiao Ying, whose mouth had been drooling for a while.

”Don’t eat too fast. If there’s no more and you’re still starving, then I’ll just cook a few more for you.”

”Okay~” Ding Xiao Ying chirped and quickly dug in on the freshly cooked food. As soon as he tasted the first bite, her eyes widened.

”Brother Feng, this food is really delicious!” She exclaimed loudly and critiqued. ”The stir-fried was right on point, bringing out the texture of the vegetable without overcooking it. The meat is also enhanced by the vegetable fragrance, giving it an earthy taste.”

Seeing how enthusiastic Ding Xiao Ying was in enjoying the food, Serena’s empty stomach began to grumble. She pursed her lips and found herself captivated by a dish cooked by another player.

’Just who is he?’ Serena’s curiosity peaked to a new height.
